Managing Partner/CEO

Tulip Retail

Tulip is powering the next generation of customer-centric retail experiences across the web, mobile devices and physical stores. I was responsible for Sales, Marketing, Solutions deployment, and Customer Success. I repositioned the company from a generic omni-channel retail back-end to a platform for sales associates for large retailers. I closed Tulip's first customers, secured customer references and built a pipeline from zero to millions. I recruited the first hires in sales and marketing and developed and instrumented the sales process.
